Viber is widely popular among Russian-speaking users, alongside Telegram and WhatsApp. It allows you to send messages, documents, media files, and make audio and video calls for free. The interface of this messenger is simple and user-friendly, even for older people.
All you need to use it is an Internet connection.
This software supports the following operating systems:
Regardless of the selected operating system, SMS verification is always required. It is still unclear how to use Viber without phone number or get an additional account in this popular messenger without the second SIM. According to the policy of this service, a user can create a single profile with the help of a single SIM only.
In this article, we will take a close look at how to activate Viber without phone number on different operating systems.
Activation of Viber without phone number is not available. The system will ask you to enter the code from the message anyway. In the case of this app, a phone number is a user ID, so getting a Viber account without phone number on Android is impossible.
Still, there is no need to rush to the store to buy a new SIM card for your new account. There is a better, time and money saving solution.
You can use specialized services selling virtual numbers to install and activate this app on Android. One of these services is sms-man.com. It offers the lowest price for the service if compared with other similar websites. SMS confirmation via this source will cost you $0.08-0.17.
This website offers a large selection of mobile operators from different countries for signing up for more than 193 services. That’s why we choose sms-man.com.
Step-by-step instructions on how to create Viber account without phone number on Android:
3. Go to the tab “Payment” in the menu.
4. Send a deposit to your account in a convenient way.
5. Go to the main page and select the Viber service.
6. Choose a suitable number from the list and confirm receiving it.
7. Go to “History” and copy the purchased number.

The procedure of registration on a PC is practically the same as on a smartphone. It is worth noting that installing Viber on a computer without a phone with a suitable operating system is impossible. When you log in from your PC, the service will ask you to scan the QR code via the app on your smartphone or another device instead of entering a verification code from an SMS. Therefore, the first thing to do is to install the app on your smartphone following the guide above.

The first step to start using Viber is registration, after which you can start communicating with other users and make the most of the program's functionality. Below we will consider how to register in Viber, what settings you need to make, and what you need to know when solving the difficulties that have arisen.
Note that registration in Viber on phones with Android and iOS is almost identical, but has a number of features. After completing the necessary steps, the user gets access to the program's capabilities. (We wrote more about what Viber is and how to use it separately). At the same time, the developers did everything possible so that even a novice user could register in Viber. To solve the problem, you only need a smartphone and an Internet connection.
First, let's look at how registration in Viber works for Android smartphone users. Before you start, you need to install the application on your device, and then follow the instructions for activation.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
After specifying the last digit, the system checks the client, and if there are no errors, registration in Viber is confirmed.
If Viber registration via SMS fails, request a phone call. In this case, a special robot calls you. To use the service, click on the Request a call link, check that the entered number is correct and select the language. The robot indicates a combination of characters that must be written down and entered in a special field.
To register in Viber with an installed and active SIM card, it is enough to request a call and take no action. After several beeps, the character set is determined automatically and fixed in a special field. After registration is completed, you can configure Viber and use its capabilities.
If you have an iPhone, the algorithm of actions differs little from the one above. The difference lies in the design of the application, but these features are almost invisible. Let's take a quick look at the registration process in a smartphone with iOS:
These steps are enough to register with Viber. Now it remains to set up the program and chat with friends. For convenience, you should personalize your profile - add a photo and enter some personal data.
A separate question is how to register in Viber on a PC. We note right away that registering a new account on a computer is not available. Connection is possible only if the account was previously created using a phone or tablet. The reason is that the Viber app for PC is not on its own. In fact, this is just a "mirror" of the version intended for mobile devices.
To link Viber on your computer, follow these steps:
For the scanner to open, the phone must be turned on and the app active.
After completing the above steps, registration in Viber on a PC takes place instantly, and the signature Done appears. From this moment you can enter the program and use its features. At the same time, the appearance and management of Viber on a computer is almost the same as the program on the phone.
Above we looked at the instructions on how to register with Viber and get a new account. After completing these steps, you can proceed to setting up a profile. To do this, go to the More section (three bars at the bottom right) and go to Settings. The following sections are available there:
In the latter case, all data and message history are deleted. 
Optionally, you can turn on vibration during a call. 
If you wish, you can reset Viber settings when failures occur or exit the application. The Viber interface is simple and clear, so even a beginner can make settings after registration “for themselves”.
Knowing how to register in Viber, you can avoid many difficulties and activate the application without any problems. But there are non-standard situations when Viber activation fails for one reason or another. Let's highlight the main problems and their solutions:
If you have an iPhone at hand, go to Settings and go to the Cellular section. Make sure the roaming feature is turned on.
Now you know how to register in Viber for free, and what to do if you encounter difficulties in this matter. The developers of the application have done everything possible to make registration simple and fast on any device, be it a PC or a phone (Android or iOS).
The task of users is to follow the instructions and enter the data correctly.
